Since these media do not necessarily attract LGBTs in proportional numbers by gender and generation, the report often presents the data by demographic segments within the LGBT community to account for differences in participant numbers within each gender/generation group. Importantly, the sample reflects the readership/membership of this broad range of LGBT focused media outlets, organizations and events. This means that the results summarized here are representative of consumers who are engaged with the LGBT community and can be reached through LGBT media, organizations and events. Gender expansive includes participants who described themselves as transgender, trans man, trans woman, intersex, non-binary, gender queer and/or gender fluid. SURVEY RESPONDENTS Over 20,000 respondents across 96 countries completed the 9th Annual LGBT Community Survey. This report focuses on U.S. data for over 12,700 self-identified gay and bisexual men, over 3,200 lesbian and bisexual women and over 1,000 transgender and gender non-binary community members. Respondents were recruited from over 170 LGBT media, events and partner organizations (see following slide). 3 Community Marketing & Insights | 9th Annual LGBT Community Survey® U.S. Overview Report 2015 In partnership with Rivendell Media, CMI’s 9th Annual LGBT Community Survey respondents were referred from the following LGBT research partners (media, events and organizations). !!

  • Gay Pride on Stolen Land: Homonationalism, Queer Asylum
    Gay Pride on Stolen Land: Homonationalism, Queer Asylum and Indigenous Sovereignty at the Vancouver Winter Olympics Paper submitted for publication in GLQ: A Journal of Lesbian and Gay Studies August 2012 Abstract In this paper we examine intersections between homonationalism, sport, gay imperialism and white settler colonialism. The 2010 Winter Olympics, held in Vancouver, Canada, produced new articulations between sporting homonationalism, indigenous peoples and immigration policy. For the first time at an Olympic/Paralympic Games, three Pride Houses showcased LGBT athletes and provided support services for LBGT athletes and spectators. Supporting claims for asylum by queers featured prominently in these support services. However, the Olympic events were held on unceded territories of four First Nations, centered in Vancouver which is a settler colonial city. Thus, we examine how this new form of ‘sporting homonationalism’ emerged upon unceded, or stolen, indigenous land of British Columbia in Canada. Specifically, we argue that this new sporting homonationalism was founded upon white settler colonialism and imperialism—two distinct logics of white supremacy (Smith, 2006).1 Smith explained how white supremacy often functions through contradictory, yet interrelated, logics. We argue that distinct logics of white settler colonialism and imperialism shaped the emergence of the Olympic Pride Houses. On the one hand, the Pride Houses showed no solidarity with the major indigenous protest ‘No Olympics On Stolen Land.’ This absence of solidarity between the Pride Houses and the ‘No Olympics On Stolen Land’ protests reveals how thoroughly winter sports – whether elite or gay events — depend on the logics, and material practices, of white settler colonialism. We analyze how 2 the Pride Houses relied on colonial narratives about ’Aboriginal Participation’ in the Olympics and settler notions of ‘land ownership’.
